Galletti Way will be fully closed to traffic for paving the week of Nov. 9–13, the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County said. The RTC's weekly report, published Friday, Nov. 6, lists at least eight active projects with traffic impacts across Sparks and Sun Valley that week.

Galletti Way: full closure

Galletti Way between Kietzke Lane and Glendale Avenue will be fully closed for paving. The RTC said the closure will shorten construction and lead to early completion.

Detours will route drivers to Battle Born Way and 21st Street. Drivers can reach 21st Street via Rock Boulevard to Hymer Avenue and Glendale Avenue. RTC project manager Scott Gibson is the contact.

Pembroke Drive: one-way travel

Pembroke Drive between McCarran Boulevard and Veterans Parkway will go to one-way travel between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Crews are doing earthwork on the north side and installing underground utilities and storm-drain infrastructure. The north-side shoulder will be closed around the clock.

Prater Way: paving prep

Crews will continue electric utility work and begin roadway pulverization on the south side of Prater Way to prepare for paving. Two-way traffic will be maintained on the north side.

Sixth and Seventh streets will be closed at Prater Way, with access off Wright Way. No street parking is allowed from Pyramid Way to Standford Way. The free right turn from northbound Pyramid Way to eastbound Prater Way will also be closed.

Pyramid Highway: drainage and paving

Work on Pyramid Highway between Ingenuity Avenue and Egyptian Drive will include drainage improvements near the Calle De La Plata intersection. Paving is set to resume Tuesday, Nov. 10, and continue through the rest of the week, weather permitting.

At least one paved lane will stay open in each direction. Normal work hours run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. The project is expected to continue through spring 2027.

Sun Valley Boulevard: utility crews

Sierra Nevada Construction will be on site along the Sun Valley Boulevard corridor throughout November for exploratory subsurface utility work. During the week of Nov. 9–13, daytime work will occur on side streets throughout the project limits. The RTC said roadway closures are not expected.

The corridor improvements project is in final design, with full construction anticipated to start in fall 2027.

Other Sparks area projects

Sparks Boulevard/Ion Drive signal: The new traffic signal will be activated Monday, Nov. 9. The signal may flash or go dark during testing. RTC project manager LaShonn Ford is the contact.

Sparks Boulevard capacity project: Single-lane closures will continue around the clock on northbound and southbound Sparks Boulevard between Lincoln Way and Baring Boulevard. Howard Drive is closed at Sparks Boulevard; drivers should use Fargo Way and O'Callaghan Drive.

Military Road: Traffic will be shifted to one lane in each direction.

White Fir Street: A new traffic pattern begins Tuesday, Nov. 10, shifting traffic to one lane in each direction.

Wedekind Road bus stops: Eastbound bus stops between Sutro Street and Clear Acre Lane will be temporarily closed 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A temporary stop will be on Tripp Drive before Willow Hills Circle. The eastbound travel lane will also be closed to through traffic during those hours.

Traffic signal fiber project: Intermittent lane closures are expected on 21st Street from Victoria Avenue to Prater Way, El Rancho Drive from G Street to Wedekind Road, and Sullivan Lane near Greenbrae Drive. Drivers using the 21st Street detour for the Galletti Way closure should plan for possible delays.
